Abstract
A kinetic model for the description of the processes of formation and decay of O(P3) atoms and O2(a1DELTA(g)) molecules in a positive column of a dc discharge in O2 is suggested. The model is based on a combine d solution to equations for chemical kinetics and the Boltzmann equati on for electrons. Experimental concentrations of O(P3) and O2(a1DELTA( g)) are described well by this m el for pressures within 26 - 655 Pa a nd discharge currents within 10 - 80 mA.
